Hitman: Absolution
Wiki Guide PDF Hitman: Absolution Frequently Asked Questions Achievements / Trophies Universe Characters Characters - 47 Characters - Diana Characters - Smith Checkpoints Mother-effingCheckpoints -- how do they work? Checkpoints in Hitman Absolution only record objectives completed, the items (and ammo) currently carried by 47, his disguise, and his starting location. Nothing else is saved, due to the plasticity in the A.I. routes (targets speed up / slow down their paths as 47 is far / near a spot where they perform a specific task). Use checkpoints to your advantage for completing challenges. Sneak to a checkpoint and "start" the mission closer to a target (for example, Death Factory's Testing Facility) or a spot where you can complete several challenges quickly without having to travel all the way across the map. Note that checkpoints do not work if enemies are fully alerted to 47's presence. Restart Checkpoint vs. Restart Mission For the most part, player activated checkpoints are handy if you are running through the game and want to explore and test each level's limits before completing it on Hard, Expert or Purist. The most hardcore Hitman players will have no need for checkpoints, as they've conditioned themselves to do the perfect run. However, for the Absolution achievement, you may find that player activated checkpoints for Hard difficulty to be the way to go if you don't want to keep dying and retrying a particularly tough mission. Walkthrough There are 20 chapters in Hitman Absolution's campaign. Note for the Absolution trophy (where you complete the game on Hard, Expert or Purist), you need to start a New Game on those difficulties (and not a "New Game Plus").
